Indeed , the German posts where just a bit of fun

we should be very grateful of all those who fought to save the British way of life .

I had to do German as part of my engineering diploma ,i hated it  :(

 I struggle with English most of the time ,let alone foreign languages  ;D

Latin is a dead language. First it killed the Romans, now it's killing me...  :D

..... I also think a certain amount of people will move from the 'personal responsibility' stage to the 'self preservation' stage about now.
if each person "stays safe" they won't catch Chinese virus
can't infect people if you don't have it

it's still spreading ,so someone ,or many , are not staying safe

You don't understand. It is impossible to stop it spreading. Absolutley impossible. The approach that the Govt is taking is to try and control the rate of spreading, not to stop it spreading.
Actually, if EVERYONE stayed in their room, then it would die out completely within three weeks.

Which is also impossible. You'd have to empty all the hospitals, turn all the power stations off, leave military/nuclear sites unguarded, no food, no water, no electricity, no TV, no Radio, for 3 weeks. And you'd have to do that World wide. And if just one person in 7+ billion fails to follow the rules....

 :D :D  Yes, that language is so annoying when a tablet or memorial in a church is written in it as many were when I want to research the story behind it. 

With my deep interest in history it would have been very useful to learn latin, but the schools I went to certainly did not teach it! ::) ::)

Mind you, I wish I had learnt German decades ago because, once again, it would have been very useful in my research, especially at uni, into one of my specialist areas of history. 8) 8) :D :D ;)

I just let it go DG , whilst my statement was probably true in a purest setting , it's also true that there are idiots everywhere and stopping in for 3 days, let alone 3 weeks isn't going to happen until TB's cull the Chinese Virus has considerably reduced the idiots numbers .

but with more 5G uptake ,and Borris and the newspapers (I'm glad I can't read  :) )confusing everyone , i'm sure population reduction WILL go ahead as planned happen   :P


Can't spell either.  :P ;D :y

No it's not, it's late autumn....  ::)

OZ/NZ might not have stopped the virus, but I reckon they have been pretty successful in limiting the opportunity for infected people to enter their countries, which must have contributed to their low infection/death rates so far.

We will see what happens when they open up again.  :-\

Their apparent success is down to the fat the population density is the square root of jack all.

You only need to look at the hot spots in the UK, they are the most densely populated areas with towers blocks and crammed in housing, an ideal transmission ground (it only takes a few idiots in such places and it moves easily, less densely populated and it has minimal impact)  :y
The UK is monumentally overpopulated. There is a simple solution, but Lizzie Zoom thinks its a bit Adolf like.

Ja Mein Fuhrer!  Wo ist dein Himmler? ??? ???

Das finale Resultat?

  ;) ;)
Sorry, other than count to 10, and order milk, my German extends as far as what I gleaned from war films. ie, "Vor you, Tommy, ze vor is over"
